We Love our Deep Fryer.

Last night (Saturday), we had Eryn and Kelly Mooney, and Carly and Brad Hansen over for a deep frying party! Eryn and Carly are my visiting teachers, and last month we were talking about how we should do something together. We did a deep-frying party with the Ottos last year and it was fun, so I thought we'd do that. Spencer and I made eggrolls and some mozzarella sticks. The grocery store was out of eggroll-sized wrappers so we ended using wonton wrappers.

Here's Spencer wrapping some tiny eggrolls!


And of course when people came over I forgot to take pictures. We had a fun time together just hanging out though. We may have convinced Kelly that he wants to get a deep fryer, but I don't think Eryn's on board. Carly and Brad brought corn dogs and they are like 10 times better deep fried than baked. Just sayin'.

We need to eat better.

Other things...

We made some Apple Strudel Muffins late friday night. They are so good. Sorry some of the pictures are fuzzy. Someday we'll get a better camera. It's hard to tell that they are fuzzy on the tiny screen.





And... my dress! I finished this about a month ago, and here I am finally getting around to taking a picture to show you all. I'm pretty proud of it, and it's nice and comfortable. When James saw it he did ask if I was going to shorten it.... Um, no, James. It's supposed to be long. He said that was silly. I wasn't too offended. :-)

    I think you mean "Fryer" rather than "Frier." I after E except after C.

    Anyhow, I love your dress. So super cute.

    Haha, teeny tiny eggrolls.

      Thanks. haha. Fried food... but deep fryer? English is dumb sometimes. And I believe it's "I before E". :)

    Your dress is totally hot. You look amazing so great job! What's your next project going to be? The length is really nice too, and I've seen a lot of long maxi dresses in stores this past year too so it's very much in style. One advanced technique you can try on future projects that is generally only done on more expensive or upscale clothing lines is to match patterns along the seamlines like where the sleeves meet the body. It gets tricky because you have to account for the seam allowance not showing AND in some patterned fabrics it means using a non-efficient method of cutting out the pieces (which is why cheaper clothes don't bother)

      Thanks, Marianne! I'll have to look into that for my next clothing project. I'm currently finishing up a baby quilt for Michael and Caroline's baby... I'm about halfway through quilting the top, then just binding left. Then I wanted to make some aprons for the Katie and Jane, but I might make another skirt or dress while I work on those. I need more dress clothes for my student teaching next winter, and if I can make them that's great. That dress only cost me 15 dollars and a couple weekends to make!
